    Summary

    There are some questions which didn't get answered in the game. Such as: "What was everyone else up to whilst Ouroboros spent that long month in Agnus Castle?" Or, "What inspired Taion to call his Blade 'Mondo'?" Or, "How exactly did Ethel and Cammuravi's rivalry begin?" Or, "What happened the first time Taion and Eunie's Interlink cancelled out whilst they were in midair?" Or, "Why did Moebius allow the Nopon Archsage to set up shop in Aionios?" ("Meh! 'Allow', he says.")

    This is one author's attempt at providing some answers to these questions, and many more you might never have thought to ask. (Like, "What if Nia had a fondness for mimicking the Zekenator when she thought no one was watching?")

    (A series of [narratively] canon-compliant drabbles, ficlets, and short stories set in the universe of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.) [Spoilers abound for those who haven't played the game. Which you should.]

    [Chapter 49 update: In which we look at the work of the Survey Branch during a time where the future was redeemed...but from their perspective, it just added to their workload.]

    Summary

    On paper, a marriage contract between two houses, Kevesi and Agnian, would be a good way to foster the peace that has lasted a decade.

    Unfortunately, politics, hidden agendas, and falling in love with your prospective groom's right-hand-man can throw a spanner in the works. Especially when your own family might not want what's best for you.

    Summary

    They planned it all out, and worked hard to make it happen: Origin would keep everyone safe while the worlds intersected and rebooted, then put everything back just as it was. So why have Rex and Shulk – their adventuring days behind them, and attentions turned to raising their families and building their communities – found themselves dumped unceremoniously into this confusing, broken, patchwork world of child soldiers and annihilation events? And how are they supposed to fix it when they don’t understand what went wrong?

    A story that fills in the gaps in Future Redeemed with found family, found purpose and little wins plugging the leaks in the sea of losses.

    Summary

    Aionios is finished, and the Intersection has passed. What remains of the two worlds torn asunder by the Architect's folly? How does Aionios, a world that only existed for a moment, leave its impression on the members of Ouroboros, their family, and their friends?

    Summary

    If he was being completely honest, Steve knew he was fucked as soon as he met his roommate.

    Eddie Munson wore shirts that showed off his torso and chipped black nail polish that looked fantastic when he played the guitar and he was everything that Steve Harrington most definitely was not. Steve Harrington managed to score a spot at a prestigious university through a combination of daddy’s money and impressive athletic ability. However, his charms as a star athlete hadn’t been enough to bury his increasingly evident bisexuality or win the heart of his dormmate, who definitely hated his guts.

    It didn’t matter, though, because Steve hated Eddie right back. And, hey, it’s normal to check out your sworn enemy’s ass every once in a while.
